Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
The deep voice made Fang Ruotang chuckle.
She could imagine Gu Jinyan's anger at this moment, but she couldn't hit Xiao Jingzi, and he didn't care if she scolded Xiao Jingzi. It was like punching cotton.
Xiao Jingzi was even more aggrieved than Gu Jinyan.
What could I do? I only found out now! Is it my fault? If you had made things worse for me, I might have known sooner. This outcome is also your fault.
Fang Ruotang watched as Xiao Jingzi skillfully shifted the blame, and still managed to say something fair.
[You can't say that. Brother Yan and the others are already very capable.]
Before she was reincarnated, everything that might happen to her was foreseen, and a small mirror was prepared for her. Most importantly, the small mirror's treasure bag contained so many useful treasures for her.
But Xiao Jingzi's words were sincere; he was very anxious.
I'm afraid of losing my identity as a know-it-all.
After all, this was what Fang Ruotang liked most about him. Now that there were things he couldn't see through, he was much more anxious than Gu Yanjin and the other six. He wished they could break through the limitations immediately, quickly recover their memories, and strengthen him even more.
"Will this harm Xiao Liu?" Rong Xing asked, his voice cold and clear, immediately putting the situation under control.
The other five people took his question very seriously and immediately fell silent, waiting for Xiao Jingzi's answer.
Although Xiao Jingzi made a mistake this time, he used to be quite capable, considering how long we've been together.
No, her new man is much stronger than you all, and even stronger than most adults nowadays. He can protect her.
...
An eerie silence fell over the scene for a moment.
Even Fang Ruotang didn't react in time. After understanding what the little mirror had said, she subconsciously looked at Fan and saw him looking at her with 'tender affection'.
She retorted with a sudden chill running down her spine.
[What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever take in another man? Don't accuse me wrongly.]
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
The little mirror had a melancholy tone.
[Since you already have six people, why would you care about adding one more? Seven is fine too. At the current rate, eight or nine would be a minimum; we might even reach a hundred-person kill soon!]
Fang Ruotang: ...
Is she some kind of infamous lewd demon?
All day long, she's either sleeping with men or on her way to sleep with men.
[A 100-man slayer? You dare say that? I don't even dare listen! Just shut up!]
[Yes, the day I first bound you to me, when I asked you to seduce Gu Yanjin and the others, you said the same thing. And look what happened in the end—you didn't hold back and won them all over.]
[Tsk! Just shut up!]
Fang Ruotang was speechless. How could there be such an insensitive spirit in this world?
She had already given such a clear warning, yet Gu Yanjin and the other six remained silent. Didn't he hear her? He kept babbling on and on, practically trying to stir up trouble in her backyard.
With ill intentions.
It's terrible.
"Little Six, you promised us there would only be six of us." Ye Wuxia's aggrieved voice rang out, but in reality, she wore a stern face and went berserk, attacking a group of low-level demonic beasts that had suddenly appeared in front of her.
Don't listen to that little mirror's nonsense. He never says a good word. Do you believe him or me?
Of course I believe you.
Okay, trust me, then don't listen to him. Just ignore him.
Okay, I believe you!
Ye Wuxia's voice was sticky and slurred, which Fang Ruotang was used to, but the others felt like throwing up. However, since Ye Wuxia added the word "men" when she spoke, they could tolerate it.
"Could you tell us what kind of people are traveling with you right now?" Cui Shixu's voice was gentle, catching Fang Ruotang off guard.
She answered without even thinking.
[He's not human! He's a dragon, a blue dragon! You've heard of him, right? He's handsome, incredibly handsome, just as handsome as you all. Besides you, he's the most handsome person I've ever seen, even more handsome than my brother-in-law.]
Gu Yanjin and six others: ...
For some reason, I had the illusion that a small knife had been stabbed into my chest.
Then they felt a heavy weight on their heads, as if a huge hat was about to fall on them. Fortunately, they dodged quickly, and the feeling went away just as fast.
He was better looking than you were in the Dayong era, but not as good-looking as you are now. However, he wasn't lacking in any particular kind of good looks; you know what I mean?
Fang Ruotang is a well-behaved girl. When Gu Yanjin and the others asked, she tried her best to describe her, but she had a limited vocabulary. Or perhaps, after spending so much time together, she just stared at Fan's face.
After all that talk and description, it all boils down to his face.
【Okay, we understand. So what's his personality like? Has he done anything strange?】 Cui Shixu interrupted Fang Ruotang, afraid that if she continued, she would be unable to resist praising Fan's unparalleled beauty.
[Personality? I don't know! But he's quite cheerful! He has a set of healthy, bright white teeth, so he seems like a good person. Someone who'd give me fruit couldn't be a bad person. As for strange things? No, nothing! He's going to pick spirit herbs with me now. He's a good person; if he has something good, he'll genuinely share it with me.]
Gu Yanjin and the other six were heartbroken.
At this moment, Rong Xing deeply understood Fang Shengtang's feelings back then.
Fang Ruotang is naive; what bad intentions could she possibly have? If she gets close to any man, it must be because some scheming man is trying to seduce her.
Only then did he finally understand the correctness of Fang Shengtang's thoughts.
【Okay, then you should be generous and share some of the delicacies of Dayong with him. After all, he's a stranger we're meeting for the first time, and we shouldn't take advantage of him. It's better to be polite. I'm on my way to your place now, almost there, wait for me.】
【Okay! I'll share my meal with him later, so hurry up and come over! I'll walk slowly and wait for you.】 Fang Ruotang was so obedient that she didn't understand Rong Xing's meaning at all.
The other five understood that Rong Xing's move was intended to make Fang Ruotang and Fan sever ties, to make an equal exchange, and not to be too intimate.
However, Fang Ruotang has always been rather clueless when it comes to love and romance. Even when it comes to things involving Rong Xing and the other six, she won't think too much about them unless they are clearly explained.
To put it bluntly, she's a person without any romantic feelings.
"We're here. Look, it's right in front of us."
Fan pointed ahead, to the end of a distance.
Even though Fang Ruotang had excellent eyesight, she couldn't see everything clearly in front of her, but that didn't matter, cultivators had plenty of methods.
She could see clearly a patch of spiritual herbs in front of her, and several cultivators standing beside them.
"Is anyone there?"
"It's alright. Now that we're here, these are ours. If they know what's good for them, we'll let them leave. If they don't, there's nothing we can do."
Fang Ruotang did not refute Fan Badao's remarks and followed him up.
